New to me BFR 475/480
I went and bought the BFR and was able to get it for $675 with dies and primer brass.

Good lookin' piece! I think you'll be happy with it. Let us know how it does at the range.
Now that the weather is getting nicer, I'm gonna have to "blow the dust off" of my 480, so to speak

That's a great deal on that! You did good. Is that a Hogue grip on that? I bought a Pachmyr grip for mine, assuming that a Super Blackhawk one would work, but they don't. The grip bolts are in different locations and the ones for the Rugers interfere with the mainspring.

Boba, I'm envious.
Mine has been collecting dust since deer season in December. |

You did well. Certainly better than $850.

That's a 6 1/2" right? You planning on mounting optics on it? I am putting a red dot on mine. Have it, but have not mounted it yet. It took me a while to decide that I wanted either a scope or red dot versus iron sights on this one.

I can only hope my previous post to Bud's price helped in your negotiations. It sounds like you got a great deal. Congrats~
